Showing your loved one you care about them doesn't necessarily mean buying them something fancy. Whether it be a gift or a kind gesture, there are many different ways to express your feelings without emptying your savings account.

Rachel Langlois from Cyprus Credit Union claims that Americans plan to spend $143 per person on their loved one, equalling a total spending of 19.6 billion dollars. Not to mention the two billion spent on flowers alone.

It’s about showing you care, and that doesn't have to cost you a lot.
